I recently had the huge honor of meeting one of my personal heroes: U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. Though I did once consider running for office, my admiration for Senator Warren isn’t purely political: There are few people out there today, in any field, who are able to set aside their fear of not being liked…

Quebec City is my favorite city in Canada, and it might just be one of my favorite cities on the entire continent. It was founded in 1608, and parts of the original city are still standing today.

As 2017 winds down, like many others, I find myself thinking about everything that’s happened during this whirlwind of a year. Have you ever noticed that when you’re unhappy, time seems to creep by; but when you’re in the right place, doing the work you’re meant to be doing, it can feel like time is…

Most people have bittersweet feelings about winter–myself included.

In case you hadn’t heard: Spotify now has the ability to predict the songs that you listened to in high school–with breathtaking accuracy. As soon as I hit ‘play’ on my personalized playlist, I was hit…

The idea to start a blog first came to me in the summer of 2016. Despite the fact that I had a full-time writing job in an interesting industry, I felt like I was only exercising one part of my creative mind. Maybe it was the fact that I was writing meticulous snippets of copy…

We appreciate fall for the same reason that we appreciate life: It’s beautiful because it’s finite. At the same time that we’re dazzled by the contrast of vivid foliage against an impossibly blue sky, we can’t help but wonder how much longer it will last. As the sweltering summer heat dissolves into crisp temperatures and…

Earlier this year, I told the story of how I met, loved, and lost the person I once considered my soulmate—and why it was ultimately for the best. (Read the post here: Do Soulmates Exist?) The concept of “soulmates” is a mystery that I’ve been unraveling for nearly a decade. Today, I want to dig…
